Summary

Navenby Methodist Church was built in 1926, and is still in use as a place of worship.

Full description

This chapel, which still serves as a place of worship, was built in 1926 as a successor to a chapel in Chapel Lane (which was itself built in 1839 to replace an earlier chapel of c.1802 - see PRN 63232). The main gabled front has three bays. The central bay has a large 3-light window, with Perpendicular cusped tracery, and is flanked by a pair of doors with Tudor arches. The three bays are separated by brick pilasters with large stone caps with pointed niches. The chapel has a raised gable with stone copings and kneelers and a stone cross at the apex. The apex of the gable is of stone including a pointed recess with cusped tracery. The openings have stone arches. The transepts have 3-light pointed windows with leaded-glass and cusped wooden tracery. The side elevations have flat-headed windows. {1}{2}
